About the Sessions
Sessions can be done in-person or via zoom and will be held over 3 sessions, scheduled at your convenience. Usually we recommend holding these within one or two weeks, or at the minimum with one sleep cycle between each session.
First session (1 hour) – you will have the opportunity to share your experience if you wish (please know that you do not have to share your experience with me for this process to work). I will then take you through a Guided Relaxation. This is to help settle a frazzled or stressed nervous system; which is often needed when people have experienced trauma as the system is still running its stress response. After the session you will be given the recording of the relaxation to listen to in between sessions and whenever you need in the future.
Second session (1 hour) – we begin with chat to see how you are doing before I take you through another Guided Relaxation, where this time you will remember the event in a specific way whilkst you are in control and feel safe. This is when the experience will be re-encoded in the mind. You will still remember the event, retaining your wisdom and key learnings, but by re-filing the memory you will release and neutralise the heavy feelings symptoms attached. This is powerful and a very effective process for all kinds of trauma, as demonstrated extensively by its creators when used with post-war veterans suffering with complex PTSD. At all times you are in control of the process.
Third session (45mins) – we focus on the future and how life might be like, without these difficult feelings or traumatic symptoms. What would it be like to move forward free of all this? You will also have a recording of this guided relaxation helping you move forward in life feeling less trauma, and feeling lighter, more positive, with a greater sense of calm, ease and confidence.
It is important to note that this is not therapy and we are not therapists. We are simply taking you through a very clever meditation to help your mind process and re-file the experiences that you have had. This can give you more space and help you feel much better moving forward. Together we can clear these dominating patterns and feelings and focus on the kind of future we would rather have happen.
